Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving. Hope everyone had a good holiday and ate at least as much as they wanted. Hope you had friends and family around. But we don't all have those opportunities, I know. I'm lucky. I had my family and friends and my new girlfriend.

Yes, I've got a new girlfriend. Been awhile. But I'll wait to write about it if it looks like it turns into something longterm. Right now we're still getting to know each other.

So I texted Mike and he's blogging tonight. He called me and said he was surfing trying to find something to post on. So be sure to check out his site and, of course, C.I.'s posting tonight with "I Hate The War" and already today has done:

C.I. I wish I had her courage. She writes the truth and knows she may be the only one to do so. She doesn't whore and she doesn't worry. Here she was calling out press accounts and writing a delicious piece with a sting and knowing full well that it would be her alone on the limb because so few bother to cover Iraq in any way today (and those who do in the US are writing about 2003 -- oh thsoe brave non-controversial souls).

So she breaks it down -- and you have to wonder why Reuters was such a stupid stooge. Then that afternoon, along comes Hawar Abdulrazaq Ali in the evening backing up the points she's made. Were I C.I., I would've opened the Wednesday snapshot with that. Instead, the point's been made by her that morning and Ali that evening so she's moving on to other topics.

Okay, reader Angie got a promise from me. She wanted me to do "The Google" again. She said she can do it herself and does but she always gets a kick out of seeing it here. So, at her request, we're doing the results for three sites she requested starting with this one.
